| | 宣公八年: |
夏，六月，公子遂如齊，至黃乃復。乃者，亡乎人之辭也。復者，事畢也。不專公命也。辛巳，有事於大廟。仲遂卒於垂。為若反命而後卒也。此公子也，其曰仲何也？疏之也。何為疏之也？是不卒者也，不疏，則無用見其不卒也。則其卒之何也？以譏乎宣也。其譏乎宣何也？聞大夫之喪，則去樂，卒事。壬午，猶繹。猶者，可以已之辭也。繹者，祭之旦日之享賓也。萬入，去龠。以其為之變，譏之也。戊子，夫人熊氏薨。晉師、白狄伐秦。楚人滅舒鄝。 |

Fu means the completion of an affair. It was not a sole command from the Duke. On the Xinsi day, there was an event at the Grand Temple. Zhong Sui died in Chui. It was because he had returned with a reply and then died. He was also a son of the Duke; why is he called Zhong? To distinguish him. Why was it necessary to distinguish him? He is one who did not die; without distinguishing, there would be no way to indicate that he did not die. Then why was it recorded that he died? To satirize Duke Xuan.

冬，十月己丑，葬我小君頃熊。雨，不克葬。葬既有日，不為雨止，禮也。雨，不克葬，喪不以制也。庚寅，日中而克葬。而，緩辭也。足乎日之辭也。城平陽。楚師伐陳。 |
